"Washerwomen" (Spanish: "Lavanderas") is a notable sketch by the Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, created as a preparatory work for one of his larger and more finished paintings. Sorolla (1863–1923), renowned for his dexterous handling of light and water, often depicted scenes of everyday life in his native Spain with a particular focus on the Valencian region. The sketch likely dates from the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Sorolla was actively engaged in capturing the effects of sunlight and the vibrant atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast.

The sketch portrays a group of washerwomen engaged in their daily labor, a common theme in Sorolla's oeuvre that reflects his interest in the lives of working people and his commitment to social realism. The composition typically features figures by the water's edge, immersed in their task against a backdrop that captures the play of light on both the water and the subjects themselves. As a study, "Washerwomen" would have served as an exercise in composition and color, allowing Sorolla to explore the interplay of light and shadow before committing to the final painting.

Sorolla's sketches are often admired for their loose brushwork and impressionistic quality, which convey a sense of immediacy and movement. "Washerwomen" is no exception, showcasing the artist's ability to suggest form and texture with rapid, confident strokes. The sketch is an important piece within Sorolla's body of work, as it provides insight into his artistic process and the development of his larger, more detailed compositions.

While the exact location and current whereabouts of "Washerwomen" are not specified in this introduction, such sketches by Sorolla are held in various art collections, including museums and private holdings. They continue to be the subject of exhibitions and studies that celebrate Sorolla's contribution to Spanish art and his mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects with energy and empathy.
